An optical disk consists of a first laminated layer structure and a second
laminated layer structure. The first structure has a first transparent
substrate having a first surface and a second surface on both sides
thereof, provided on the first surface being a light-incident plane via
which a light beam is to be incident in recording or reproduction, formed
alternately on the second surface being a plurality of first lands and
first grooves, and a first organic-dye recording layer formed on the
second surface to cover the first lands and grooves. The second structure
has a second substrate, alternately formed on which are a plurality of
second lands and second grooves, a reflective film formed on the second
transparent substrate to cover the second lands and grooves, and a second
organic-dye recording layer formed on the reflective film to face the
second transparent substrate. The first and the second structures are
bonded to each other via a bonding layer so that the first and second
recording layers are provided between the first and second substrates. A
formula .alpha.1.gtoreq.cos.sup.-1(20/Tb) is satisfied in which Tb is a
thickness of the reflective film formed on a bottom of each second groove
and .alpha.1 is an angle between a plane passing through an upper surface
of each second land and a side wall of each second groove.
